Meredith Daniels has had a career in radio for over 10 years, but currently works as an Internet News Manager for a newspaper where she watches TV all day long.
She’s a self-proclaimed media whore.

Meredith has done comedy writing for actor/radio personality Jay Thomas, but swears she had nothing to do with the show “Who Wants to Marry a Multi-Millionaire.”

She graduated from Boston University with a Bachelor’s in Bachelors, I mean Journalism.

In her free time she enjoys going to the North Fork of Long Island with her husband and leaving him there. She also enjoys cycling and yoga. She’s very proud or her Camel, but thinks her Downward Dog could use some work.

Whether he is talking about life in the big city, his college memories or discussing his favorite method of torturing his friends, Mike is big on writing in the third person.

Roger stays active playing tennis and doing lots of walking, and is a music fan and former drummer in bands with names like “The Slip” and “The Avenue Kids” – although he wouldn’t be shocked if you’d never heard of them.

Nikki Egan is an Emmy Award – winning senior producer at MSNBC. She’s hoping something else will happen in her lifetime so that won’t be the first line of her obituary. Not that she doesn’t like MSNBC (she loves it), but she’s milked that Emmy line for a while and her friends are tired of it. As a producer, she’s been right in the middle of some of the big stories of the past (redacted) years, including the 2000 ballot
debacle in Florida. (Don’t ask to see her hanging chads. She’s shy.) Besides attempting standup comedy, Nikki also runs around the park occasionally, dances better than Britney at the VMAs (who doesn’t?), eats her vegetables and sleeps. She’d like to thank Kermit the Frog, Walter Cronkite and Mary Richards for inspiring her to become a journalist.
